  Location; This hotel is in practically the center of the Loop. Very easy to get to, very nice staff, excellent facilities. LaSalle is a major stop in Chicago. The blue line goes practially from O'Hare to this hotel. Literally the hotel is around the corner from the LaSalle Stop. And the LaSalle/Van Buren stop serves several lines on the El, including the brown line. Also, the views are insane from the 40th floor. 5 stars all the way.

  Two elevators to get to your room, but not that big a deal. The hotel is also right outside of a major Metra station, so you get all kinds of characters walking by. To be fair, that is on the side where you get the cta trains, you can also walk in on the other side, which is peaceful and solitary. Do not expect maps or anything either. This is a business hotel, without much for tourists, though the staff is helful in pointing you in the right direction for maps or whatever else you need. Continental Breakfast is kind of a joke too. Bagels and cereal, and they ran out of coffee the last day I was there. Whatever, it still deserves 5 stars because the positives are overwhelming.

  Enjoyed the proximity to the shopping area. Missed the opportunity to use the sport facilities (gym, pool, etc.). We'll have to go back...

  The bed was extremely comfortable and the location was ideal. The best part of the stay was the warm and helpful staff at the reception desk!

  I thought the staff was very helpful and eager to please. The health club was a huge bonus for a business traveler. The room was nicely appointed.

  It would have been nice to have the option of room service.

  The location was great for a conference I attended.

  My room was very dated. There was no room service available. Booked a king but got two queens. Front desk is so far away that it wasn't worth it to try and change rooms.

  Great view, rather gloomy ambience. Imagine 'The Shining' set in Chicago.

  We stayed here on our honeymoon, there was some construction going on during our stay, but the hotel accommodation was over the top. We aren't a very 'needy' couple, but when we did, they were very attentive. We did notice it was defiantly a business stay, but I would highly recommend it, the pool/hot tub and club are very nice, and we never were crowded in there.

  Only down side we noticed in the location, everything seemed to close really early that was directly around the area, maybe that is just Chicago? Other then that, great place!

  This is a unique hotel at the top of the Chicago Board of Trade building. Our 40th floor bedroom had a spectacular view of the harbour/marina lake front of the city, with Navy Pier to the left and the Adler Planetarium to the right. The Metrak train from O'Hare airport has a stop at LaSalle station, within 200 meters of the building (unfortunately, the station elevator was not working and there is no escalator - steps being a possible problem for the elderly traveller). The continental breakfast is adequate and the staff are friendly and professional. Hotel visitors are free to use the well equipped gymnasium of the Buckingham Athletic Club. The main shopping areas of the Magnificent Mile are within reasonable walking distance and the Loop mass transit line runs close by - staff of that system were helpful on the occasions that we used it. When departing for the Metrak station at LaSalle, one of the hotel staff was most helpful in assistance with luggage.

  No complaints. A very good variety of tv stations was available + free access to the internet.

  The comfort and design of the room. The concierge on check-in and the one on check-out. Within walking distance of our destinations. Cool place!!! Expensive, but great value compared to other places.

  Drunk businessman making crude comments to my 23 year old daughter while waiting for the elevator: Oooo, does that nose ring hurt? etc. Made her uncomfortable and caused her to wait for an empty elevator.

  Location is good: near railways station, but very clean area; near the city center (you can reach many attractions just walking around). View from windows was wonderfull. One of big advantages for me is the availability of a SPA center. Very kind people at reception.

  Breakfast is rather poor (but this is common for all American hotels), level of a 3-star hotel in France or a 2-star in Germany and Austria. The service in the hotel is done too early ( 8h30-9h00) while you are still at breakfast or even in the room (they knocked several times to one of my friends and insisted to enter and begin their cleaning).

  The privacy and non-hotel feeling

  The gym was absolutely not first class. Old equipment.

  I didn't check in until later in the evening. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and provided me with some menus for local places that delivered as I was starving. I loved the view and the boutique feeling of the hotel. It was an amazing value for the price and I would definitely stay there again.

  Honestly, there are really no complaints that I have with this hotel. I have a few suggestions...1)Some type of floor mat for the bathroom. The bathroom is beautiful but the floor gets slippery if any water drops on the floor. 2) It's time to upgrade the televisions to flat screen. 3) There is a step going into the bathroom that will trip you if you are not aware of it. Hazard if you get up in the middle of the night. Overall, loved this hotel!
